    Skipped checking in for a few days!

    9/2-40 minute ride
    9/3- off day. Busy with the kickoff of Hawkeye football. Not to mention it rained all day and by the time I got home I was sick of being wet and didn't even want to think about going out riding.
    94-60 minutes

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Rode 93 minutes today. 23 mile an hour head winds for the first half of the trip. Maybe I should take up walking instead?

    I know the challenge is all about daily exercise, but it does seem like a triathlon would balance things out a bit...

    Just got my bike ride in for the day. Maybe will have time to squeeze in another short one later today...

    9/7--55 minutes between spin class and the ride there. It was 40 out this morning so a bit of a chilly ride...last week I was gripping about the heat and now it is 50 degrees cooler.

    Keep pedaling!

    Forty minutes of bicycling in today...riding to and from the Mexican restaurant may have balanced out the tacos I ate for dinner.

    I'm sorry I dropped off for a while. Mainly due to computer issues. :grumble: I've been keeping to my tri training schedule. Looks like you've all been doing great. :drinker:

    Today was a substitute day again--all set for a 5k race this evening, and didn't do anything other than a little walk around earlier to loosen up my muscles after working all day.
